Money Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 That's what I found on google. In clause 857.212(1) they said that we can't apply while holding student visa.. And my owner said to me the same thing that tomorrow he is going to take over my lawyer and he will make change in my file.... I'm not sure what will happen with me..

And my owner said to me the same thing that tomorrow he is going to take over my lawyer and he will make change in my file.... I'm not sure what will happen with me.. I don't see what part of the goobledygook above says that this is about not being able to apply for the RSMS visa whilst on a student visa. The explanatory notes, suggest it is a change to do with New Zealand citizens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Thanks for reply rupert. Change means that he will request to immi to change my file status from onshore to offshore bcos it is not only me in my company we have 6 more case same as me on which behalf my owner is going to take over my lawyer...

Thanks Are you actually reading any of these replies? That change is nothing to do with student visas, it is to do with New Zealand citizens. Even if it were something to do with students, what is your "owner taking over as your lawyer" going to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hi all. Last night I spoke with my owner and he ask me fill and sign the form no. 424c and 1022 and said that tomorrow he is going to immi office to change my visa subclass from 857 (onshore)to 857/119(offshore). Bcos he doesn't want that next 6 employes including me won't get rejected with their visas. Is it possible to do so. I'm not sure. If anyone knows about this then please let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 What did your agent say? You are paying them to give you correct advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yes I spoke to him and he said that he has done that mistake and now it is only way to get positive result. And yesterday he asked me to fill the form 956 and 956a. I'm still confused and worry to. Is it right way to do so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Interesting. Have you asked him what will happen to the extra money you paid for an onshore visa rather than an offshore visa due to his mistake? I don't really see why your boss would be taking over though.

Money Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 What is the amount difference between onshore and offshore? And blossom is it possible to do so? But as I paid the fee from my cr. card if the immi will happy to do the changes they will return the money to my card as I think?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Off the top of my head I think the difference was about $1000, maybe a bit more. I have no idea if immigration will give you back the difference. You should be asking your agent this, he was being paid for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 But blossom is it possible to do what employer is doing to get positive result ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I have no idea. I am not an agent. I haven't studied immigration law. Neither has your boss. Your agent however has, and is being paid to put to use his knowledge. If he has failed in that then HE should be putting that right. Is he mara registered?

Money Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yes he is.. But my boss he also knows about rsms bcos he did all the paper work for my friend by him self... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 He obviously didn't know enough or your friends visa wouldn't have been refused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I saw the rejection letter by my self it was clearly written that , she got refused bcos of clause 857.212. And now they r saying that it is the only way to do so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yes, and your employer didn't know about that, and nobody would expect him to. But your agent is being paid to know. You need to be questioning your agent about all these things. If they are mara registered you may have cause for complaint. Whatever you end up doing, his mistake will most likely end up costing you money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hi blossom , My visa got refused on 7th march 2013 bcos of 857.212 clause.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Ohhhh dear, I'm sorry to hear that. What does your migration agent say? Is he mara registered, as I think you should have cause to make a complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 yes he is. but i spoke to immi regarding this , they said that mara is a different association then them. They said it is not going to worth for me if i do complaint bcos that will only help me to penalized that agent but nothing going to change in my decision.

blossom Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 This is true, but you might be able to claim back some of your costs from him. He told you that you were eligable. He charged you money for his service and all of that money is wasted. If you are going to apply again then why should you have to pay again? Definatly complain to mara. Did you find out any more details on that clause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 yes i already asked money what ever he charged and already got back. yes i spoke to my case officer regarding this and he said that is just bcos of my study was continued at the time of lodgement it had been refused. but my case officer approved my nomination as i know it is my boss part but still it is with my name and he said it is valid for six months. as now my student visa finished on 15th march on same day i have applied 457 bcos my boss already got SBS approval from immi. is it possible to apply another rsms after 457 approval. and if apply new rsms i need to fulfill new immi policies . as i know i dont have 6 in ielts neither TRA. so to apply do i need both or just 6 in ielts enough. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 You wouldn't need the tra. I'm sorry, I don't know about the ielts. But yes you can apply for the rsms any time you are eligable. Had you not finished your course when you applied before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
